Belinda Bencic sank to her knees and couldn't believe it: The Swiss, who has been plagued by injuries in the recent past, caught up with Elena Rybakina again and again in her semifinals, defending six set balls from the Kazakh in the first set alone and finally moved into the final of Tokyo with a 7: 6 (4), 4: 6 and 6: 3. There she meets either Marketa Vondrousova from the Czech Republic or the Ukrainian Elena Svitolina. For Rybakina, there is still a chance of finishing third in the Olympic gold medal.
